"What we as Europeans have always supported is a long, lasting and just peace, and we welcome any efforts to achieve that. Of course, for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board, so this is very clear. Also, we have to understand that in this war, there is one aggressor and one victim. So we haven't heard of any concessions on the Russian side."
"EU foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels this morning amid reported growing pressure on Ukraine to consider a secretive draft plan to end the war based on what effectively amounts to a capitulation from Kyiv. The draft plan, which was reportedly developed by Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev, would force draconian measures on Ukraine that would give Russia unprecedented control over the country's military and political sovereignty. The plan is likely to be viewed as surrender in Kyiv."
EU foreign ministers convene amid reports of pressure on Ukraine to consider a secret draft plan that many view as a capitulation. The draft, linked to Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev, would impose draconian measures granting Russia unprecedented control over Ukraine's military and political sovereignty. Ukrainian leaders are likely to regard the plan as surrender. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized support for a long, just peace that requires Ukrainians and Europeans to be on board and noted continued Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure. French and Spanish ministers rejected any peace that amounts to Kyiv's capitulation.
